There is a multitude of questions surrounding "Breaking Dawn," the potentially final installment of "The Twilight Saga," including who will direct the film, when it will begin production and whether or not it will be broken up into two films — but as it stands, the only true guarantee is that "Breaking Dawn" will exist on film some day.

At the Sundance Film Festival, MTV News spoke with Kristen Stewart to see if she could shed some much needed light on the highly anticipated movie, but it turns out that the on-screen Bella Swan is just as in the dark as the rest of the franchise's fans.

"I don't even know if it's going to be one [film] or two, or who is directing it, or when it's even going [to start]," she admitted. "I know that it's going to go, but not when yet."

Have you ever heard the saying, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere"? Frank Sinatra (and more recently, Jay-Z) famously sang those words about the Big Apple, and they couldn't be more true. And in the rough and tumble wilds of New York City, sometimes you've got to do more than wait tables to make a living— evidenced by the film "The Extra Man," which debuts tonight at the Sundance Film Festival.

The film, which stars Paul Dano, Katie Holmes, Kevin Kline and John C. Reilly, follows Paul's aspiring playwright character Louis, who moves to New York to pursue his dreams but ends up supplementing his day job at an environmental journal by escorting Upper East Side society women at night. But it looks like Louis has his eye on a paramour much closer to his age. Check out our exclusive clip below in which Louis meets his coworker (and potential love interest?) Mary (Katie) for the first time.

Will you be seeing "The Extra Man" when it hits theaters later this year?

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

It’s clear that Khloe Kardashian and hubby, LA Laker Lamar Odom are living a fairytale. After falling in love and having a whirlwind wedding, the two just were just granted another once-in-a-lifetime experience: the chance to meet President Obama.

The couple took part in an event honoring the Lakers’ 2009 NBA Championship at the White House. Khloe was among Lakers team members and their wives who attended the ceremony. According to NBC Los Angeles, after the team posed for a photo with the Commander in Chief, Kobe Bryant presented the President with an Obama #1 Lakers jersey.

They're wrapped up in cozy jackets, knit scarves and most likely covered in remnants of snow, but that hasn't stopped the celebrities at the Sundance Film Festival from taking a seat in MTV's Sundance Photo Booth. Remember when stars used to take self portraits when they stopped by "TRL"? Well we're keeping that tradition alive with a booth set up in Park City.

So many big names have already come through (including Ben Affleck, Malin Akerman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt), but below are two of Hollywood Crush's personal favorites: "Welcome to the Rileys" and "The Runaways" star Kristen Stewart and "Howl" star James Franco. The booth allowed these two to show off their personality, so check out their full contribution to our virtual scrapbook by clicking on the image to browse through our ever-growing Sundance Photo Booth flipbook.

“High School Musical” star Corbin Bleu is taking his skills to the stage as he stars in the Broadway hit “In The Heights.” Corbin, who is a native New Yorker, is the perfect fit for the part and so excited to be involved in the show.

MTV News caught up with Corbin as he rehearsed for the show and asked him about his role. "I play a character named Usnavi, who is the local bodega owner," he said. "So it's the hub of the entire community. He is faced with thinking, 'Is this what I really want — the monotony of life?' But in the end, he realizes he has a wonderful life."

If you caught our sneak peek clip last week of Ryan Gosling nearly jumping off a bridge in his and Michelle Williams' latest film "Blue Valentine," you know it's some heavy stuff. The film, which debuted Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival, finds Ryan and Michelle playing a young couple who try to salvage their failing marriage by stealing away to a theme hotel. Their love story is then replayed through multiple time periods. When MTV News caught up with the playful pair, however, it became obvious that not everything about "Blue Valentine" is as super serious as we had expected.

If you've ever wondered what Michelle's hidden talent is, apparently it is reciting all of the presidents' names, in order, by memory. When MTV's Josh Horowitz asked how it came about, costar Ryan joked, "She just did that. No one knew she was going to do that." After a little cajoling, Michelle agreed to sing the presidents for us. Click play on the clip below to above all 44 commanders-in-chief. And yes, Michelle, we do think this earns you a spot in Dead Man's Bones.

What do you think of Michelle's singing skills?

Carrie Underwood is getting excited for her upcoming role in "How I Met Your Mother," and she recently took to her blog to write about her first-ever acting debut. Carrie, who will play a pharmaceutical sales rep and love interest for Ted (Josh Radnor), will appear in an episode set to air in March. She wrote, "I’m giving up the music business and I’m going to become a professional sitcom actress! Just kidding, of course, but I did have a blast while I was there!”

Besides having a wonderful experience with the cast and crew in LA, Carrie said they “made me feel right at home and were super patient and great with me and my lack of experience!” She went on to blog, “I got to hang out with the whole cast, dress up like a flight attendant, play a cavewoman and had a baby pig poop on me…that’s right…jealous? I’m just glad I grew up on a farm because I think I was the only one who knew how to hold and wasn’t afraid of a little piglet!”

Ben Affleck said it best when we spoke to the star a couple of days ago and Josh Horowitz asked him to sum up Sundance so far: "Weirdly, it's snow, movies and giveaway lounges … I don't know why that happened."

The Sundance swag suites are everywhere, and showcase a vast array of products. However, this aspect of Sundance is only reality to a select few, and most festival-goers are probably not even aware that Sundance is a mecca of free stuff for celebs. The festival is, after all, first and foremost about the films. Since access to these suites is restricted, we're here to give a taste of what else is happening in Park City besides movie screenings and premieres. Read more...

There was no question that Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Joan Jett were the talk of the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. The excitement over "The Runaways" rubbed off on Joan Jett fan Jessica Alba, who tweeted, "Got back from Sundance last night -met Joan Jett -I Love Rock N Roll! So rad... yes I still use that word." So rad, in fact, Jessica's daughter Honor Marie might be a future Joan Jett herself, as hubby Cash Warren told followers, " Wife meets Joan Jett once and already wants Honor to be her. Dressed her in a flannel with rolled up sleeves and skinny jeans. Haha."

The women of "The Runaways" may have been the the buzziest thing in Hollywood this weekend, but the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts dominated the sports world as they advanced to face each other for Super Bowl XLIV. While football fans are excited to see these two teams go head to head, reality fans are looking forward to a Kim Kardashian (her beau Reggie Bush is on the Saints) vs. Kendra Wilkinson (hubby Hank Baskett is on the Colts) battle! There doesn't seem to be any sparring between the two E! ladies yet, but Kendra let her excitement known last night night, posting, "got married, had a baby, n now headed to miami to superbowl...what a year its been. mamas havin some dranks in MIA tho..oh yaaa lolol"

“New Moon” costars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have taken a bit of a detour from their vampire-inspired acting skills and brought it to a whole new level at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Though the duo shares an onscreen kiss in the rock-and-roll indie flick “The Runaways,” the two insist that it wasn’t much of a big deal, in their eyes.

MTV News caught up with the ladies in Park City to ask them about their roles in the film. "I don't think it was ever a big deal to me," explained Dakota, who plays Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie, adding that having Cherie and Joan Jett (Kristen) kiss in the film "was just a thing, another day" for the characters.
